Tokyopop should have gotten Andrew Cunningham to translate NHK. He did an outstanding job with the first Kino novel.

So is the novel available in English now?

Yes, and the translation isn't all that shoddy, actually. It's certainly far less factually wrong than some of the translations of the manga I've read. Mostly I'm annoyed by the fact that, in the endnotes, they elect to explain "otaku," but frequently use "lolicon" and occasionally "moe" in the text but never explain those.
